Patent number: 10406709Abstract: A score knife positioner includes a carriage bracket having a locating tab for receiving a score knife assembly. Linear bearings are attached to the carriage bracket and are configured to engage with a pair of guide rails. The linear bearings are offset from one another and located so that score knife positioners on either side of a particular score knife positioner can be nested together. The carriage bracket has a width less than a width of the score knife assembly and allows adjacent score knife assemblies to be positioned so that there is less than one-half inch between score knifes. Score knife positioners can be moved to a desired location and locked into place via a carriage brake attached to the carriage bracket.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: CATBRIDGE MACHINERY, LLCInventors: Michael T.

Patent number: 4640321Abstract: In an apparatus for securing girth binding wires to the sides of an open sided flat container wherein wire manipulations are performed on a wire section secured to a container blank to bend the binding wire ends over the top edge of the sides and drive them into the container blank, first and second crossbars are provided which are respectively vertically reciprocally mounted transverse of the path of travel of the container blank. The first of the crossbars is positioned above the path of the container blank and has mounted thereon a wire manipulating device which cuts the binding wire and bends it downward as the first crossbar is lowered. The second crossbar is positioned below the path of the container blank and has a wire bending and clinching device mounted thereon such that, as the second crossbar is raised, the binding and clinching device engages the previously cut and bent wire ends and wipes them back against the bottom sides of the container blank.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1985Date of Patent: February 3, 1987Assignee: Rockaway CorporationInventors: LeRoy M.
